Cesium Tiling Scheme: Web Mercator Explained

The 'tilingScheme' property in Cesium is used to define the tiling scheme for imagery or terrain providers. This code creates a new instance of the 'Cesium.WebMercatorTilingScheme' class and assigns it to the 'tilingScheme' property.

The 'Cesium.WebMercatorTilingScheme' class represents the Web Mercator tiling scheme, a common choice for mapping applications using a 2D map projection. It divides the Earth's surface into a grid of tiles, where each tile is a square region of the map. This tiling scheme is based on the Web Mercator projection, a cylindrical projection that preserves the shape and angles of small features, but distorts the size and shape of large features near the poles.
